Summary
In this paper, the analysis of coupled heat and moisture transport in heterogeneous
masonry is solved with the help of first-order homogenization. Statistically equivalent
periodic unit cells are constructed with respect to the masonry geometry and materials.
They are used for determination of material parameters for finite elements at a
macro-level. It is possible to use a SEPUC for each finite element or several finite elements
are aggregated and a single statistically equivalent periodic unit cell is used for
the aggregate. In order to speedup the computation, parallel computers could be used.
The periodic unit cells are assigned to slave processors while the macro-level mesh is
assigned to the master processor. Coupled heat and moisture transport in an existing
masonry bridge was solved using two and three-dimensional numerical models.
